NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Chemical Week will host its 11th Annual Information Technology Conference "Achieving maximum performance with IT excellence for today's global chemical industry" on September 29, 2008 at the Crowne Plaza Valley Forge in King of Prussia, PA.
Chemical Week's Information Technology Conference is specifically designed to help chemical company CIOs, CTOs and senior IT managers leverage IT to address the global challenges and opportunities facing the chemical industry. This year's program will also feature insights from a recent Chemical Week survey of chemical companies, in which 81% of companies surveyed stated that they consider the application of IT systems critical to their ability to attain or retain flexibility of operations. Just over half of companies surveyed believe competitive advantage is dependent upon IT.
Back again this year is one of the traditional highlights of the Conference, the CIO of the Year Award which recognizes Chief Information Officers for innovative and creative planning and deployment of their enterprise systems, exemplary leadership and management, and service to his/her organization and the industry. The Award will be presented at a special reception at the end of the conference.
